What must it feel like to have a 104% eejit at the helm of your country.

Knowing your voters put him there.

Voluntarily.

Twice.

And one with so little grasp on reality that there’s no sign of him stepping down.

Kinda Boris Johnson, Liz Truss + Farage on steroids. With Hitler mixed in.

Re: the story from Germany reported in the Times today, there are some doubts about the validity of the assumptions. A lot remains unclear.

It seems some people genuinely expected special treatment after the UK is turned its back on Spain.

The data shows that the most dangerous place for these women is behind closed doors: for seven out of 10 women killed by men, it happens in their own home. Six in 10 are killed by their partners; almost one in 10 by their son; just 9% are killed by a stranger.

Sobering reminder : 🇺🇸 defence stuff losing its cachet

“When US foreign policy abruptly changes, the aircraft remain — but contractors, spare parts and badly needed software updates suddenly disappear. Within weeks, more than half the aircraft are grounded.”

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

Please repost and share this. It is a rare chance to demonstrate that the British people reject Farage’s foreign-linked fascism.

Ukraine has fought too hard for its freedom, only to have its future dictated by Putin and Trump behind closed doors.

Any peace must guarantee Ukraine’s sovereignty and security on terms acceptable to Ukrainians, not just to Moscow and Mar-a-Lago.

Absolutely spot on by George -

-and the faster people recognise this dynamic, the better for our ability we have to protect our values and quality of life in Europe.
1. Trump and his Death Eaters cannot tolerate any rival power. Europe, when united, is a major trading and diplomatic bloc. They see Russia (much less of a threat to US hegemony) as an excellent instrument for breaking up Europe, by threat or by force.🧵

Starmer is to attend an EU summit and Brexiters are having a proper tantrum about it.
As if they negotiated something good.
As if our industries hadn’t been desperately lobbying govt ever since.
As if the EU wasn’t an ally.
Brexiters are monstrous toddlers - a total drag on diplomacy and progress.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau.

Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?
